Gaia build system meeting note
Contents
First half of 2014
Since we found build scripts still isn’t easy to modify on bug 964216 and had bug 897352 for copying all apps into build_stage/ directory, we should consider refactoring build system to get clearer build process. please get more information on Gaia/Build/Refactoring Plan
Second half of 2014
we almost have done all refactoring work in first half of 2014. For second half, our goal is enable building gaia by firefox extension and add test case for it to ensure it won't be broken again.
